All kidding aside, I'd love to have a mule or mammoth donkey at some point, but a well trained one costs more than I can comfortably afford to spend, and you can't send a donk/mule to a horse trainer because they don't think like horses. |
I do own a very quiet horse, that big draft mare....not that she thinks anything through, though....I have to think for her. I think everyone needs on of those quite, laid back, can't-tell -if-they-have-a-pulse horses :) Those are the only horses I want to own!
Yeah, even getting a well-trained mule or donkey requires training on your part because,a s you said, sending them away doesn't work, and every longear needs HIS owner to be his trainer. They get very one-mannish. If you own a longear, prepare to become his/her trainer :) They'll only respect you if you work with them first. I like that about them, though...because when it clicks, you really are a team.
